Belmond Orcaella- Burma river cruise

We did the 11 day cruise over Christmas/New Year.
The Orcaella is a great boat,( only 50 passengers max ) the crew are happy and friendly, the logistic team are amazing, the chef is fantastic, the food is wonderful ! We had a great cruise. I would cruise with them again.

Did you book via Virtuoso/FHR and if so, did you get any value-add perks?

Nice review, rojaan.

Nice review, rojaan.
Thanks ! No, we use a bespoke travel agent and they booked direct with Orient Express ( who are now Belmond - except for the train trips) She always has a bottle of champers delivered to our room if you call that a value added perk The cruise is basically all inclusive anyway- ( all the tours, wine with lunch and dinner,) the only things we paid for at the end of the cruise was laundry and a few things I bought in the ships boutique We have been using our TA for years,( they used to be a Virtuoso agent) we basically book our own hotels, and she does the flights and cruises, works well for us.
